Below answers the first 2 questions. If I am successful in my pursuit of preparing teachers and students for the world, my school would be less quiet and more engaged, meetings would take place online so that TIME might be preserved for planning and genuinely working toward a shared vision. Students would be networking in school, but with classmates around the state, if not the world. PBL would be our top priority and would replace the heavy emphasis placed on standardized testing. A test is just that, however the right kind of projects will maximize the sustainability and the educational value of learning for students, teachers and administrators. Teachers will not be observed, but student projects will be experienced. I foresee a great accountability shift from teachers to students, and districts will share their final products across the state, and beyond!

My goals as an instructional coach is to actually become one even on a part time basis. Right now I am a full time science teacher with no periods dedicated to Instructional Coaching. I coach in my free time. I feel that it is difficult to go beyond this main goal because the reality is that I do not have the time to dedicate to coaching. As stated above, my main challange is the time that is dedicated to coaching. My strategy for overcoming this role is to complete the coaches log and show it to the administration and the school board to show the value of my position. My school would finally get to their goal of 1:1. Our teachers would collaborate without walls. Our technology would work all of the time and be fixed in a timely manner. Out administration would believe that teachers need training not just technology. Here is a link to our group presentation.
